The Sig Sauer P238 .380 ACP pistol is a micro-compact, all-metal concealed carry handgun engineered for shooters who demand reliability and accuracy without bulk. At just 5.5 inches overall length and under a pound, the P238 delivers genuine firepower in a package that disappears into a waistband or small holster. Built on the same design principles as full-size Sig platforms, this single-action pistol pairs a 2.7-inch carbon steel barrel with a stainless steel slide finished in durable Nitron coating. The result is a carry gun that performs as well as it looks.
Concealed carry demands a pistol you can trust in low light, and the P238 comes standard with night sights for rapid target acquisition in dim conditions. The sights are removable and adjustable for windage, so you can dial them in to your specific load and shooting distance. A curved, single-stage trigger breaks cleanly, while the manual safety gives you a mechanical redundancy on the holstered gun. The alloy frame is topped with a hard coat anodized finish in silver, paired with a black polymer grip for a clean, professional appearance that won't snag when drawing.
One magazine with six rounds is included. The P238 is California-compliant and not optics-ready, keeping the design simple and focused on what makes a carry gun reliable: a tight, proven action and sights you can trust. If you're looking for a .380 that doesn't compromise on engineering or feel, the P238 is a serious choice for daily carry.
